I had a thought about a potential way to divide up the topics. How about by Permaculture Zone?
For instance, if one wanted to make a post about how to make their own laundry soap, cook deer meat, install solar panels on the roof of their house, those would all fall under the category of Zone 0.
If a person wanted to post about gathering wild edibles or hunting turkey, that would be an appropriate Zone 5 topic.
If a person wanted to post about growing a black walnut grove, that would be appropriate for Zone 3.
Food forests would mos appropriately be discussed in Zone 2.
Instead of:
Members' 'steads
Start a thread about your 'stead
Perhaps:
Zone 0 - The house, or home center.
Aiming to reduce energy and water needs, harnessing natural resources, and working towards a sustainable environment in which to live and work.
(The above definition for Zone 0 is an abbreviation of the one given on the Wikipedia page for Permaculture.)
FYI, I have no emotional attachment to my ideas as to how you should rum your board so my feelings will be perfectly intact regardless of what you do with any suggestion I ever make.
